Hulan Prison in Heilongjiang Province Tortures Practitioners, Causing One Death and Severe Injury to Others
(Clearwisdom.net) There are over 100 Falun Gong practitioners being
detained in Hulan Prison, Heilongjiang Province. They are forced to work
extremely long hours, which badly damages their health and mental state. Mr. Liu
Yu, a practitioner from Baicheng Town, Jilin Province, was arrested in Harbin
and sentenced to seven years imprisonment. He was forced to attend brainwashing
sessions and developed a serious case of TB. Despite that, he was forced to
labor like the others. If he did not, the police would beat him severely. Under
such torment, he died on April 7, 2005. Recently, Hulan Prison has intensified its persecution of practitioners who
refuse to sign papers denouncing Falun Gong. In order to block this information,
they haven't allowed any visits from practitioners' families since October. They
have said, "No "transformation," no visit." At one o'clock on November 2, 2005, Qiao Fulin, a guard in the Fourth Team,
told practitioner Mr. Li Dajie to make car seat pads. Because Mr. Li didn't work
fast enough, Qiao beat Mr. Li so severely that he had to be sent to the
emergency room for medical treatment the next day. His blood pressure rose to
190 over 110. The hospital used drugs to reduce his blood pressure. As of his
last communiqué, he still couldn't take in food. Police guards Liu Kai and Wang Jian relish beating practitioners, claiming,
"If you do not work overtime, we will break your legs." Practitioners
detained in the Fourth Team have to work 15 hours a day in summer and 12 hours a
day in the winter. The Fifth Section in Hulan Prison is also one of the units that severely
persecutes practitioners. In the two sub-sections of that section, there are
nine practitioners. From April to October of this year, three practitioners went
on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Among them, Mr. Sun Zhaomin
maintained the hunger strike for half a year. At around 3 o'clock on the
afternoon of September 20, one guard and two inmates, two taking Sun by his arms
and one carrying his feet, started to take him to the hospital to force-feed
him. After a few steps, they dropped his legs and just dragged him by the arms
to the hospital. Mr. Sun used to weigh 160 pounds, but he is now literally a
skeleton. After practitioner Mr. Liu Zhigui was detained in the No. 1 sub-section of
the Fifth Section in March, the guards forced him to sign repentance letters by
means of severe torture. They beat him and made him stand facing the wall for
long hours. They also assigned inmates to watch and follow him, limiting his
freedom of movement. They do not allow him to see any visitors, imposing
spiritual torment on top of physical torture. On November 16, Mr. Liu could
hardly breathe, his blood pressure dropped, and his pulse was faint. He was sent
to the hospital for emergency treatment. Many people in Hulan Prison, including the chief officer, the political
commissar, the officers in charge of each section, and the political
instructors, all play an evil part in the persecution of practitioners detained
there. In addition, the officers in charge of "the Falun Gong issue"
in the Education and Reform Office take an active role. They send firm
practitioners to the "Intensive Team" for torture. Some of the
practitioners are tied to the iron chair or iron bed for 20 days at
a stretch. In September, practitioner Zhang Guangli from Harbin was in a coma
for seven days and nights due to the persecution. Qi Fengchen from Acheng City
is also in a coma due to the persecution. Forty-nine-year old practitioner Qian Houmin from Daqing was arrested in
April 2002 in Zhaodong City. He was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment. In
October, he was sent to Hulan Prison in Heilongjiang Province. Recently, because
he shared experiences with other practitioners, he was severely beaten by the
police and couldn't walk. Now he has lost the ability to take care of himself. In 2003 and 2004 when Hulan Prison carried out a wave of brainwashing, guards
Qin Dianjun and Min Huiguang ordered inmates to throw practitioner Mr. Xie Yi
against a wall. Mr. Xie's head struck the wall and he lost consciousness. He
received 12 stitches for his wound. Several inmates beat practitioner Sun
Hongquan in turn in the hot water house for a whole night and Sun passed out
several times. In the prison systems of Heilongjiang Province, practitioners are detained
mostly in eight prisons. Among those prisons, Hulan Prison and Harbin Prison
carry out the most ferocious brainwashing and persecution. They employ all sorts
of physical torture and abuse. The "Intensive Section" in Harbin
Prison, the First Section and the Ninth Section have all persecuted
practitioners to death. The practitioners detained in the Harbin Prisons have
now been transferred to other prisons in the province. Hulan Prison of Heilongjiang Province Sun Kaiwen, head of the prison: 86-451-57307303 Li Gang, male, Chief Officer of the Section Zhang Hongliang, head of the team: 86-13945655065 (Cell), The Second Section: The First Sub-Section:
